I bet they have a huge stockpile of Slims already produced. I mean, from what I understand, the last couple months have just been Sony letting the stock they already shipped to stores sell out, so they wouldn't lose so much on the price drop. |
It will be interesting to see how long old stock on 80GB SKUs will remain available at most retail outlets.
I'm pretty sure it's already been removed from most re-order inventory sheets although there will always be old stock floating around somewhere.
It should be testament as to how well SCE knows its supply channels; if they are more or less gone from retail shelves by September 1st, that would be an impressive feat given the mere two week gap between announcement and release.
I expect to see 160GB bundles lingering around for quite some time after though.
